"Perving" is a perfectly good term for those things. It wouldn't imply any more than that in Australia IMO.
Then again, we throw around words like "bugger" as well, so meh.

Also, a nice slang here for the television set is the "idiot box" :-D

Yep, you hear that one here in the States too :-)

Ah, I see! So it's just boob tube that's a bit odd when one refers to a piece of clothing in the USA, good to know :D

Must be an Australian thing, eh? We say someone is perving on another person when they're checking them out. Like Tova says, it implies no further connotations than that.
Confusion = Sorted! :-D

--- Quote from: Omega Entity on 06 Oct 2012, 18:31 ---DNR, perhaps a dive through previous WCDTs might yield the answers you're looking for, as far as how far discussions have gone in the past, and might give a bit of a sense of closure to said discussion if you read what's come before? As I've said, I'm pretty new here, so I wouldn't personally know where to begin. But some of the veterans of the site might be able to give you an approximate timeframe for which to begin your search.

Good grief, there's barely anyone in that thread that's posting in here anymore!
My, how things have changed...

Well, I and I assume other have lurked since well before then.
The amount of bile/strife/RAAAAAAGE that cropped up over things that should not be taken as seriously as they were really discouraged participation though.
And to add to burger related discussion: Deer burger is great, though usually you need some animal fat added from another meat type to keep it from being too dry.
Method of Madness:
Buffalo burgers = wonderful.
Re: "perving", if the word shares a definition with "pervert", I don't see how there's no negative connotation, but it's really just semantics at this point.
Tova:
Well, the word "bugger" isn't exactly polite if you look at its meaning, but it is such a mild curse in Australia that it was the centre-piece of a particularly well-known advertisement.
Slang isn't necessarily logical.
